John Legend and the Roots: "Wake Up (Arcade Fire Cover)":

John Legend and the Roots: Wake Up (Arcade Fire cover)

A few months back, John Legend and the Roots teamed to release Wake Up!, an album of classic soul covers. The album got its title from the Arcade Fire song, and though Legend and the Roots recorded a cover of that song, it didn't make the album. We previously posted video of Legend and the Roots performing their "Wake Up" cover live during their American Express/Vevo "Unstaged" concert. And now, you can hear the studio version, which is streaming above. It's a pretty faithful cover, at least until it turns into a jazz-informed vamp at the end. Legend particularly relishes all those whoa-oh-ohs on the chorus.

Like many past entries in the series, the new track lasts nearly seven minutes and comes loaded down with guests. This one features Clipse rapper and "G.O.O.D. Fridays" regular Pusha T, as well as longtime Kanye collaborators John Legend and Kid Cudi. This time around, we also get a couple of new faces: G-Unit MC Lloyd Banks and R&B auteur Ryan Leslie, the latter of whom gets an actual rap verse. Also: guitar solo! Click over here to download it.
